Explaining how the Detroit Red Wings should handle the goalie position this offseason.
The Detroit Red Wings need a goaltender next season.
But that doesn’t mean I want them to overpay in years to get one – or even get one at all. It’s very likely we’ve seen the last of goaltender Jimmy Howard in a Red Wings uniform after a disappointing 2-23-2 record with 4.20 GAA, .882 save percentage and expiring contract.
To me, he fell short of the expectations placed on him as a franchise goaltender after failing to lead the team to a Stanley Cup as the lead goalie – despite winning one in 2008 when Dominik Hasek manned the pipes.
